Scott Brown for Secretary of Defense???

[NPolitics1979]

The Republicans had a major problem with Obama's original choice for the State Department-Susan Rice because they wanted to see Kerry vacate the MA US Senate to head the State Department and give Scott Brown the opportunity to win the Special Election in 2013.
The Republicans also have a major problem Obama's choice for the Defense Department-Former NE Republican Senator Chuck Hagel. Obama-D should nominate Scott Brown to head the Defense Department if Hagel has a tough time getting confirmed.

1. I'll have whatever you're smoking (nt)

[DollarBillHines]

5. No, thanks

I might end up killing my cats, or something.

Naked, climbing up the light pole in front of my house.

[AAO]

11. I've got it and it's made me a believer!

[Cha]

16. Not me.. I don't want to get

f***** up!

[Splinter Cell]

2. ?

Uh, No.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. That's just nuts.

He has no credibility for Secretary of Defense.

[DollarBillHines]

7. But he's danged photogenic, Peggy.

What else does he need?
DBH

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. He needs SO MUCH MORE!

Men need brains to be good-looking...Jus' sayin'

[Cha]

17. To everyone but me.. I look at him and

think: slimeball, racist lying, slimeball.

[Stuart G]

13. He has no credibility at all..........nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. ..., which he covered in his "Cosmo" spread.

[Bombtrack]

4. No, god, a thousand times no... I live in MA

And I'm going to be one of the people working my ass off to defeat him for senate and even though he's the most electable Republican in the state it still wouldn't be worth flattering that lying himbo who makes himself out to be a "war veteran" because he arranged an extended photo op with troops overseas. Nobody who actively supported Romney in the 2012 election is qualified to make the foreign policy decisions necessary to be secretary of defense.

[Cha]

18. Thank you, Bombtrack, in

Advance!

[Thinkingabout]

6. What about Jim Webb, he is a military guy.

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Secretary of Indian Affairs

That would be rich.

[underthematrix]

10. Brown is a very nice looking ignorant mentally disturbed

pervert. He does not have the knowledge, e.g. he is not a student of history nor does he have the intellectual discipline to be Secretary of State of the United States of America. Senator Kerry is the perfect choice.

[julian09]

12. But isn't he in reserves?

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. And?

He's a lawyer in the NG.

He's milking it for hefty pension.

Screw him.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. He isn't qualified to empty the trash

If I hear his name about anything again, it'll be too soon.

[TwilightGardener]

19. I'll take Hagel, thanks.

Or Flournoy or whoever else Obama nominates. Brown would be a ridiculous choice that would never happen.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

21. Well, whatever Cabinet post he (might) hypothetically ever get nominated for

Let's just hope that he NEVER gets nominated to head the US Bureau of Indian Affairs..........

[democrattotheend]

22. Does he have any defense experience whatsoever?

Did he serve in the military, or on the Armed Services Committee?

[NPolitics1979]

23. Scott Brown is in fact a member of the military and the Armed Services Committee

Served in the Army National Guard- Member of JAG, He is the sixth Republican on the Armed Sevices committee.
My suggestion of Brown being selected to the Defense is to stop Senate Republicans from filibustering the Hagel nomination to be Defense Secretary.
Obama can say to the Senate Republicans-You have two choices on which Republican is going to head the Defense Department. Hagel or Brown

[democrattotheend]

24. Did not realize that

In that case, not a terrible idea. Although I would love to see the president pick a woman for the job...that would be pretty groundbreaking.

[davidpdx]

25. Ambassador to Siberia maybe

Either that or duct tape him to a place near fault line and count how many days it takes before he's crushed like a grape.

[DFW]

26. The only Cabinet Post I would save for Scott Brown:

Secretary of the Inferior

[karynnj]

27. No - he has never demonstrated any competency running

anything.
